LapBandBobbi 8 Posted October 29, 2010 How many of you drink muscle milk to help get your Protein in for the day? I kind of like it. :thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
spoiltmom 44 Posted October 29, 2010 I've been thinking about trying the Muscle Milk Light. I find if I buy premade shakes then I drink 1 every day. If I have to make my own I start lagging on it. I just can't find time to make them. I know it only takes 5 minutes but it's easier and quicker to drink one pre made. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ElfiePoo 109 Posted October 29, 2010 I use EAS chocolate powder. Tastes much better IMO. I bought a case of muscle milk at Sam's Club and it was *horrible*. I tried giving it to a few people who also drink shakes and they declined after one taste. I ended up throwing it all out. ;-p . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OneYearLater 14 Posted October 29, 2010 LOVE muscle milk light. I've tried so many different kinds of Protein powders, and this for me by far tasted the best. I went into a Vitamin Shoppe and a GNC to ask them if there was anything that tasted as good out there to try something different, and everyone there pretty much agreed that Muscle Milk tasted the best. I would have it for all my meals except I know that you also need to actually EAT :thumbup:. My favorite flavor is chocolate Milk, which I sometimes mix a little fat free sugar free pudding in with the powder to get a variation of flavor and thickness. It can get kinda pricey though, but I found it on a site called Mass Nutrition for about $17 each 1.65 tub. I ordered the Peanut Butter/Chocolate, Cake Batter and another one that I have forgotten haha! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samomom 19 Posted October 29, 2010 The powder is way better than the pre made ones, plus it is better calorie and Protein wise. I use the chocolate powder mixed with milk. I've been trying to cut the milk with some Water to lower the calories, but I can't go straight water because it just doesn't taste as good. I do one scoop to 8oz of liquid. It makes a thin shake. I don't like them thick at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
isaviolinist 11 Posted October 29, 2010 How many of you drink muscle milk to help get your Protein in for the day? I kind of like it. :thumbup: I drink the ones with 22g of Protein for lunch. I LOVE them. And I love being able to just grab it out of the fridge. I also slack when I have to make the shake. And there is over 1g of protein per 10 calories which is great. I buy the huge cases at Sams Club. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melissannde 41 Posted October 29, 2010 I don't drink shakes as a regular thing. I much prefer to get my Protein in "real food". However, sometimes when I'm pressed for time, I will grab a RTD shake. I do like the Muscle Milk LIGHT.. but only in the vanilla or strawberry creme. The chocolate is nasty IMO. If the RTD light comes in other flavors I haven't found it in my area.

Phranp 46 Posted October 29, 2010 I love Muscle Milk. I am lactose intolerant so I use the powder (chocolate). I mix half soy milk and half Water. I have it for Breakfast every morning -- I cannot get food down in the morning no matter how hard I try. So the Muscle Milk is great. I buy it at costco for $26 for 40 scoops at 26gr of Protein per scoop. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LapBandBobbi 8 Posted October 29, 2010 I sometimes stop at the gas station on the way to work and buy one out of their fridge. They have 25 grams of Protein. They are a lot more expensive than buying the kind you mix, but it is easier. Since my band won't allow me to eat until about noon, I can drink the shake.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sun Rae 7 Posted October 30, 2010 I really like Muscle Milk. My son, who is a Marine and is constantly working out, suggested that I try it. I like both the chocolate and vanilla.:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

xavier 153 Posted October 31, 2010 I am too tight in the morning for solids and I am a vegetarian so Protein is a concern. I drink a Premier Protein (from Costco) every morning. It is 30g of protein and only 160 cals. Tastes great. I don't like the taste of MM but maybe I'll try the lite version and see, Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wish I was a costco member so I could try that! That sounds amazing! I just googled it and I was reading that there are some quality control issues (weird lumpiness, shakes that are spoiled). Have you had any experiences like that? I'm thinking maybe I'll order some online and try them out. The nutrition facts are amazing - better than Muscle Milk nutrition (although I do love MM).

nomorejellybelly 77 Posted October 31, 2010 I drank it during my pre-op diet and would maybe drink it more now, but it's a little pricey for me. I do drink Slim-Fast like drinks for some Protein, even though they don't have near as much protein. They still help me anyhow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
